It's official: Pegasus serves award-winning food and wine onboard!Jan 30, 2013 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Pegasus Airlines, flying to 63 destinations in 27 countries, has been rated as the best airline in Europe for on-board food in Skyscanner's recent European Airline Food Awards in the low-cost category. In leading global travel search site Skyscanner's second annual study of the quality of on-board culinary offerings, Pegasus took the number 1 spot in the low-cost airline category after over 550 European travellers and bloggers took part as food critics. This follows hot on the heels of Pegasus' success in the Skyscanner 2012 Airline Wine Awards when it took 3rd and 4th place respectively for its white (Kavalidere Cankaya 2011) and red wine (Kavaklidere Angora 2011) served on-board. Judged by a panel of wine experts in a blind tasting, 21 economy-class wines served on board the major European carriers were sampled. * Order award-winning inflight meals at a discount on www.flypgs.com * Pegasus Airlines always strives to give its guests the best service at the most competitive prices, while throwing flexibility into the equation.
